Those bars at the start of the map with egypt motives? Wait, does that mean that player start placement is depending on skill you pick up? 

There are no special difficulty based player starts, the only thing that affects the map layout is the switch that you press at the start (difficulty only affects monsters and items). As for the bars in the Egypt section, maybe I could quickly change the texture of the bars to indicate that you need a blue key for it.

[Misty]

I went with Egypt section then... I should give more playtest in later time.

Title: But It's Summer in my Hemisphere
Author: DJV (Please credit me as such and not after the DW's tag)
Music: The Cranberries - The Icicle Melts
Difficulty settings: All difficulties implemented with strong emphasis on UV Comment: It's a key hunt with 3 main fights/arenas. It is a quite packed map, I don't think it is that difficult but I've found the end result to be a little bit annoying with monster barriers

VERSION 1: DIFFICULTY SETTINGS AND ITEM PLACEMENTS MAY NOT BE FINAL, also there is final detailing to be done yet

@M4rsh I can't download your 3rd version of map update(it doesn't open up link), could you provide alt link for it? I'm compiling first alpha version of project. 


Otherwise, if anyone wants include different sky, just let me know, with mapinfo variations it won't be problem.

Here's a small update: ChooseYourOwnTheme_Version_nr2.zip

Minor changes, mostly texture changes.

Sorry for the late reply, it should work fine now. Google Drive

We have 19 maps submitted for this project so far(includes couple submissions in discord server)! It's more than I ever could hope for when I was thinking to host this project. I'll wait rest of submissions until Sunday evening from those who asked for extension. Playable public release will come out soon as possible.

I fixe a missing texture. I'm done for good now

UPDATE:

VERSION 2: Fixed the size of the red key arena, as fighting there was awkward and way too unbalanced. Some other rebalances to the rest of the map to make sure resources are enough. I've also added the UMAPINFO lump to the file.

Difficulty settings: Implemeted, though UV can be difficult

Comments: Might be the hardest in the set, though I am not sure. Has some slaughter elements and may get somewhat tight on ammo if you don't infight.

[Misty]

Nope, it's not too late, no worries!

[HEXWALKER]

Running a very short bit late! Map is done, just placing some extra ammo, and making sure everything is working okay! File will be up soon!

I played your level. Not going to lie - it was quite hard, there's list of things I think you should note:

+I slid so fast and smashed my player avatar into wall and died at the start. I feel you should readjust speed of this and maybe give player alt way to get into main area at their own pace.

+ I feel giving player invulnerability in lower skill settings would make fights more manageable. 

+I'd give ssg earlier, but that's just me. More ammo also would appreciated on lower skills.

+I feel you should give some visual clues how to get yellow key, because at first I've got confused about it. It's easy to miss locations. 

+ Music was good choice - felt like hero taking down hordes.

 

 

I’d like to keep the map mostly the way it is, but if you want you have my permission to put one invulnerability on easy, and some more ammo as well (not too much tho). Can’t do it myself as I’m away for the time being. 
(Sorry about the wait I’ve been busy this week, and merry Christmas!)

It's okay, there will be opportunity to improve map in public release! Just waiting for Hexwalker's submission.

Sorry about that! I fell asleep at my desk last night and I found a bunch of busted stuff, shouldn't be too long now. Apologies for the delay!

Hi mappers!

I'm currently working on the snow system for the GZDoom features for this project (just as a nice touch) - if you need to update your map please refrain from doing so until I've posted the next compilation (the snow system relies on a placed thing system). If you need assistance extracting your map from the compilation please let me know as I'll have all your maps saved individually.

 

Have a merry Christmas all!

[Misty]

Hey @HEXWALKER be sure to submit map today, you're only one who we are waiting for. As long as it has exit and triggers work as intended it will be good, you will have opportunity to improve map in public beta release too.

Good looking out. I’ll look into it but it’s probably just my holiday message in the void of the map.

Ah true that, just double check but if that's all it is then all good :D

[Beubeu]

Looks amazing !

[HEXWALKER]

It's here! It's Here! Only after way too long because I just got home a bit ago! (Late nights suck!) Expect some areas to not be as polished as I'd like. REALLY want to revisit this one later.

 

Title: Frostbitten Romance
Author: HEXWALKER
Music: Crimbo Crisis by LunarCryptik
Linky: HEXWALKER_SnowWave_FrostbittenRomance.zip
Difficulty Settings: Yes
Comment: You've been teleported into some strange, ancient ruins! Some of these seem like they're still being used regularly... Despite the moody atmosphere, and snarling Demons, something feels..... jolly? Somewhere between about 8-15 minutes to complete, might be longer to 100% idk i didnt have time to check lol
Additional Credits: LunarCryptik who made the MIDI for this in about an hour, incredible work, man!

261 "line errors", all are from my secret message, which doesn't seem to hurt anything. @Misty lmk if that is a concern of yours or not.

[Misty]

It's okay, they can stay, unless you want turn them in sectors. It doesn't cause problems on my end.
